The temperature dependence of cross sections for 72P1/2 ↔ 72P3/2 excitation transfer in cesium, as well as the effective quenching of these states, induced in collisions with H2, N2, CH4, and CD4 molecules have been investigated in a series of sensitized fluorescence experiments over a temperature range 390–640 K. The 72P mixing cross sections are of the order of 10−15 cm2 and exceed by at least one order of magnitude similar cross sections for mixing by collisions with Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. The large sizes of the mixing cross sections and their variation with temperature are ascribed to a phenomenon of electronic-to-rotational energy transfer.

The dependence on temperature of the cross sections for 2P1/2 ↔ 2P3/2 mixing in cesium, induced in collisions with various deuterated hydrogen, ethane and propane molecules, has been studied in the range 290–650 K. In the cases of hydrogen and ethane, the behavior of the cross sections was found to depend on the degree of deuteration of the molecules. The very large sizes of the mixing cross sections and the isotope effect observed in their variation with temperature, are ascribed to the phenomenon of electronic to rotational energy transfer.

The temperature dependence of cross sections for 52P1/2 ↔ 52P3/2 excitation transfer in rubidium, induced in collisions with CH4, CH2D2, and CD4 molecules, has been investigated using methods of sensitized fluorescence over a temperature range 300–650 K. The cross sections, which are of the order of 30 Å2 and which exceed similar cross sections for collisions with noble gas atoms by at least two orders of magnitude, exhibit an isotope effect which is ascribed to the phenomenon of electronic-to-rotational energy transfer.
